Season Ends, But MAAC News Continues Year-Round

With the end of post-season play for MAAC teams, please permit your Hoopscribe to make a "commercial" reminder.

The MAAC Blog, "Keepin' Track of the MAAC," is a year-round destination site for news, features, history, insight, opinion and just about anything with a tie to basketball within our favorite conference.

In coming days, weeks and months we'll have plenty to write about.

Right now the coaching carousel continues to spin with openings for men's coaches at Marist and Siena and women's coaches at Iona and Saint Peter's. We'll keep you as up to date as possible on those searches and, eventually, how things turn out at those schools.

And, there might even be more to come. A couple of MAAC coaches are being rumored as potential replacements for openings elsewhere. So, stay tuned. It's going to be a busy off-season for coaching movement.

Coming up shortly we'll do year-end "team reports" on every program, men's and women's, in which we'll take a look back and try to see what's ahead for conference teams.

After that, we'll take on recruiting with a look at who's coming in to help conference programs in the future.

And, through all of that there always seems to be additional news filtering out from within the MAAC and this is your one-stop shopping center for all of that.

Finally, another piece of welcome news.

The Sporting News, a terrific publication, recently announced it will resume publishing its preseason College Basketball Preview Magazine after a one-year hiatus.

Your blogger will once again be doing the MAAC preview for that publication. It should be good reading.

But you can find much, much more about the MAAC almost every day right here.
